Brief Description:  anti hang for flop tube

Tonight I worked on the anti-hang bracket for the flop tube. The normal design shows the anti-hang mounted to the inside of the rib at the reinforcement ring. However, many say that the access is a problem if you have to get into your tank down the road. Hopefully I will never need to get into my tank - but if so, I would like clear access instead of having to go around the anti-hang it in the way. One of the best designs I have seen is a two-piece design that mounts mostly to the access cover itself so that when you remove the access cover - you also remove the anti-hang and it is not in your way. The second picture shows how far (or not) that I got tonight - the two-piece design is still in one piece. but I will seperate it a a point just below where the flop tube is sitting right now.

The first picture below is the anti-movement bracket that I referenced yesterday - It will be keeping the flop tube from moving when I connect the fuel tube since at that point - the tank will be all closed up and leak tested.
